Nelson Co. Judge Alexander Phillips Miller was born in Nelson county, Kentucky, August 12, 1821; emigrated with his parents to Marion county, Missouri, in 1835, and after remaining there about nine months removed to Pike county, where he has since resided. His father, Alexander Miller, was a native of Virginia, having been born near Winchester in April, 1784, and removed to Kentucky with his father in 1803. His mother, Sarah Phillips, was born in Kentucky in 1787, and married in 1809. There were five children, three of whom lived to attain their majority, but now the subject of our sketch is the only survivor. Judge Miller received only such education as the facilities of the times afforded. He was married in April, 1846, to Fanny Peay, a daughter of George W. Peay, an old and highly respected resident of Pike county. Although the attention of Judge Miller has been mostly directed to farming and stock-raising, in each of which he has large interests, he has, nevertheless, been several times called to discharge the duties of important political and judicial stations. He was commissioned as justice of the county court by Governor John C. Edwards in 1847, and again commissioned by the Governor a few years after the expiration of his first term of service. He was a candidate before the people for the legislature in 1876 and was elected by a decided majority. Judge Millers landed estate consists of six hundred and fifty acres, five hundred of which is comprised in his homestead; his farm is all of the best quality of land, all well improved, and in a high state of cultivation; he has an elegant residence, finished and furnished in a style commensurate with his wealth and position, everything about the place being first class. Judge Miller became a member of the Baptist Church in 1857, joining the Mt. Pisgah Church, and has since held the position of moderator of the Salt River association for five years, and acted as clerk of said association for a period of twenty years, and has attended forty-five out of forty-seven convocations or associations of his church. Judge Miller is the father of ten children, eight of whom are now living.
